These speakers sound great when paired with a 300w Slash V2 amp. They are pretty powerful and have a nice crisp sound. However, they aren't very durable, after about 3-4 months I had one of the tweeters explode.

I have 4 of these in my 300c. They are all installed behind the back seat head rests. On an orion hcca1000.4 these things are crazy loud and can be heard clearly from a long ways away. Mids/lows are incredible compared to any 6x9 i've ever heard personally.

October 2, 2011 Little dissapointed in JL's 6x9s.

Needed a little rear fill for my regular cab Tundra and thought these might fit the bill. Ordered the JLs and purchased a set of wedged mdf boxed from Sonic to put them in.

Got them hooked up to my Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD and I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed in their sound. I'm assuming it's because they're in such small boxes but WOW they sound horrible.

Planning on upgrading to the JL XD400/4 amp to see if that wakes these speakers up.
